What customers say?

“ Exceptional Service for a Large Birthday Brunch!I recently celebrated my birthday with over 15 friends at the Papiermühle Café Sunday brunch, and the experience was absolutely outstanding!The service was genuinely supportive, friendly, and incredibly warm from the moment we arrived. They went above and beyond, allowing me to come in early to decorate our table with balloons and seamlessly handling the organization of my own birthday cake.The open buffet brunch was delicious, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food and the time together. A major highlight is their attention to dietary needs: two of my friends are gluten-free, and they were thrilled to find excellent lactose-free and gluten-free options available, meaning no one had to miss out.At 33 CHF including one drink, the Sunday brunch is fantastic value. I always enjoy coming here, and I highly recommend Papiermühle Café, especially if you are planning a celebration or need to accommodate a large group! ”

“ I love this restaurant! They have fantastic service and fantastic food! It’s a great place to grab brunch with friends outside. They make all of their baked goods themselves and they are DELICIOUS. This restaurant is definitely a hidden gem of Basel. ”

“ Popped in during a thunderstorm to get out of the rain and enjoyed a Cappuccino and a slice of carrot cake. Loved the pub like atmosphere and service was great for the amount of people coming in at one time so close to closing. ”

“ I had a fantastic time at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The location is perfect, right near the Rhine, and the terrace is especially lovely in the summer. It’s a great spot to relax and enjoy the view. The service was also top-notch — our waitress was extremely friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. On top of all that, the prices are very fair for the quality and setting. Highly recommended! ”

“ Got the tarte flambee with bacon and onion and the bhudda bowl with tandoori chicken. The bhudda bowl is a variety of items in the salad but not really worth it for the price of 25 CHF. Not enough chicken The tarte flambee on the other hand was thin and delightful. Perfect for sharing. Nice atmosphere and good for a lunch meal before going to the paper mill musuem next door ”
